Convention Committees: Contributing Individuals

There was no limit on how much an individual could contribute to either host committee organizing the summer's
nominating conventions. Six-figure donations were common, and the donors tended to also be active contributors directly to their preferred
political party and its candidates. Below we've ranked the biggest individual givers to each host committee - use the dropdown to switch
between Denver/Democrats and Twin Cities/Republicans - and, beyond their donation to the conventions, we've also tallied their federal
campaign contributions in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles, along with the percentage they gave to Democrats and Republicans during
that time.
